    Anything else you want to say about the kinds of projects or people or organizations you’d like to work with?

    I’m particularly interested in games that give me excuses to do interesting research, and I kind of like representing things with game mechanics.

    I am currently obsessing with the magic circle and its relevance to “gamification” trends.
    Games I’ve worked on:

    Civilité, Gumbeat, SuperPoke Pets, Camaquen,

    Skills and Superpowers: (What abilities would you bring to a collaboration?)

    Solid systems design,
    polished and pre-pruned paragraph construction,
    an honest belief in the value of user-focused design and testing,
    experience running multi-faceted live action/ARG games,
    a deep-seated love of creating fun for folks.
    3 games I’ve played that changed my life:

    Dungeons and Dragons (the first game),
    Doom (You can use a computer for *this*?)
    Dwarf Fortress (convinced me to go to grad school)
